Onto Urban Retreat, which has some covetable Christmas gift sets from brands including Thalgo, Creme de la Mer and La Prairie, and to-die-for hair and beauty packages – I love the Course of 6 Manicures (£100) or Pedicures (£150) at Urban Retreat Smithfield.

There’s also gadgets including GHD straighteners and the CACI microlift anti-ageing device (£350), and stocking fillers from the likes of Moroccan Oil, Rahua and Mavala.

Laura Mercier also has some great make-up on offer for autumn/winter 13; check out this adorable multi-purpose compact (above) which is definitely going on my Christmas list.

I finished up checking out the latest goodies from the likes of Molton Brown, Space NK, Diptyque and ESPA at PR company TCS’s Christmas event.

And tomorrow I’ll be unveiling the highlights from the Harrods Christmas in July event – watch this space…
